Purpose

The purpose of this rule development is to reconcile this section with proposed rule changes to Rule 68A-25.002, F.A.C. Recent proposed changes to Rule 68A-25.002, F.A.C., would prohibit collection of Florida snapping turtles, Florida red-bellied turtles and peninsular cooters from the wild. Currently, Rule 68A-23.012, F.A.C. limits take of these species. The effect of this rule development would be to maintain consistency and eliminate any conflicts between this section and Rule 68A-25.002, F.A.C.
